Using ansible will help you on your 2nd, 3rd , nth install.

But getting ansible to do what you want (plus testing) for the first time would takes 10x longer than manual install.

I think there’s xkcd about that.

That’s the story of the movie “Click”

I would like to default to debian 12 if I have to start fresh.

The Ganeti Cluster was installed on Debian 10 then when 11 launched, I upgraded it. It’s a 10 nodes cluster and I just don’t have time to upgrade it yet. The last update to 11 took me a week to troubleshoot.

What we use in my office, depends on the type of servers:

• For virtual server (we made a golden template of it) we use Debian 12
• For virtualization host/ganeti cluster we use Debian 11
• For NAS, we use OpenMediaVault (based on Debian)

While in my country, some recruitee bribe the recruiter to be able to join…

I’m an admin of a self hosted iRedMail (with iRedAdmin Pro).

My advice is: Don’t.

Getting an email server running is easy. Managing them is not.

There are some good advice here. Use commercial service with personal domain.

Sadly, today I was greeted with this message: We have discontinued our stain solution website.

We need to consider truck-kun factor, where the developer get isekai-ed.
